Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: No Urgency on Mayweather Side, It's Terrible!

[SolonGee]

STFU Bob! We all know you and your team are ducking and dodging this fight while trying to slander Floyd. You're a greedy POS that's done more harm than good for the sport.

Bob Arum has promoted superfights like Hagler vs Leonard, Chavez vs De La Hoya, Holyfield vs Foreman, Foreman vs Moorer, Leonard vs Hearns, Hagler vs Hearns, Ali vs Frazier II and both Ali vs Spinks. He promoted great fights like Erik Morales vs Barrera, Pacquiao vs Hatton, Bradley vs Marquez and many more that I forgot.

Arum got a huge resume of great and classic fights. He has huge resume of making big fights happen. And to say Bob is blocking Pacquiao vs Mayweather is foolish.

HBO is trying to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight when Floyd is still in HBO. Floyd leave HBO and go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen. The fight could have been done if Floyd pick the winner of Pacquiao-Marquez 2 bout. Why the best defensive fighter in the world DID NOT choose the fighter he call "1 dimensional" "easy work" "midget"?

Floyd Mayweather's Legendary Ducking Resume
1999 - ducked Joel Casamayor and Shane Mosley (fought Chavez)
2002 - grew balls and fought Castillo (and Castillo got robbed)
2004 - ducked Kostya Tszyu and Winky Wright to fight Demarcus Corley, Henry Bruseles and Arturo Gatti
2006 - ducked Margarito and undefeated Cotto (fought Zab Judah? Who just lost)
2007 - ducked Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and fought an out of his prime (and already TKOed) Dela Hoya and fought Hatton at 147(not 140)
2008 - Do a FAKE retirement to ducked Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and Mosley
2009 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Mosley and fought a lightweight Marquez(Yes, a lightweight!)
2010 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Sergio Martinez and fought a faded Mosley
2011 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, and S. Martinez
2012 - ducked Pacquiago, Clottey and S. Martinez and fought Cotto who was TKOed twice already (HBO is trying hard to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.)
2013 - ducked Pacquiao (Floyd go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen.)
2014 - ducked Pacquiao, Lara and Khan**Pac n Lara are his mandatory. Khan won over Maidana on Floyd's own poll)
2015 - 36yr old Pacquiao slightly loss speed and power. Time to fight?

Floyd also avoided Acelino Freitas, Paul Spadafora and Leonard Dorin.

Most recent ducked fighters, Khan and Lara. Pacquiao and Lara were Floyd's mandatory. What the so called TBE do? He made a poll between Khan and Maidana. Fans choose Khan. Khan won the poll. Floyd choose the slow and flatfooted Maidana. Not only he ignore his mandatory, he ignore his own poll and more importantly, he ignore his own fans. ***65279;

Floyd havn't made the contract yet. A-side send list of terms and conditions to B-side. Obviously NOT the official contract. B-side let A-side knows they agree. Then A-side must make the contract with Floyd's signature and sent to B-side to sign. That's why Pacquiao keep saying they're waiting for Floyd for the signed contract.

Don' speak logic here....I must have explained this 20,098 times to no avail...****** is going to be ******...

[HeGotPacProblem]

If the framework is "agreed" upon then why are they pretending Floyd needs to do something?

There are a lot of minute details to the fight that's now agreed upon.

[SolonGee]

Not enough time for a cut to heal.
Not enough time to build an outdoor arena.
Not enough time to promote the fight.

Not enough time is one of Arum's go to excuses.

HBO is trying to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight when Floyd is still in HBO. Floyd leave HBO and go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen. Floyd is a professional ducker. He showed countless new ways to avoid stiff competition . . . Freitas. Spadafora, Casamayor, Tszyu, Hatton at 140, Margarito, P Williams, Winky Wright, primeShane, undefeated Cotto, Clottey, Cintron, Pacquiao, Sergio, Khan, Lara.

How to Duck Fights to Stay Undefeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr.
1. Change weight class
2. Ask for too much money
3. Claim the other guy isn't famous enough
4. If he is famous destroy his reputation by accusing him of PEDs
5. Do a fake a retirement
6. Ask him to sign with Al Haymon
7. Fake an injury
8. Offer zero PPV share
9. Blame Bob Arum
10. If you ran out of excuses, just beat up your wife/girl and spend time in jail.
11 Change network
12 Blame the network

[BoxingIsGreat]

Yeah, in principle.

'Signing off on it' another way of saying the proposed stipulations and requirements have been agreed upon by Manny and that they're ready to agree and sign the official contract.

Show us where Arum, Pac, or Koncz use words and phrases like 'framework,' 'in principle,' etc. All they said was they signed the contract. What contract? Don't make your own shhitt up.

[IMDAZED]

There are a lot of minute details to the fight that's now agreed upon.

Yeah and if they're "agreed" upon then both sides are in agreement.

It makes no sense since both boxers are near the end of their careers and what's Bobs cut? 30%? That's a ton of money to leave off the table for the sake of sabotaging the fight.

[HeGotPacProblem]

Sorry typo.....meant to say the details are NOT agreed upon. This is according to Arum from the espn article yesterday.

You can't read between the lines which is unfortunate.

[Arshad221]

I suspect he's the only person who doesn't want the fight.

I love how you're ignoring junior gong man, dude brings nothing to boxing scene.
